Well, we are off to do our part for the community/environment. We are out picking trash up. There was an overwhelming response in our community last year. Here's hoping that today there will be a grand outpouring of do-gooders out to clean up the roadside. It's small but it is something. The most important thing we hope to accomplish is to give our children a sense of community and responsibility to that community.

This salad whips up quick and it is virtually a veggie rainbow in a bowl. The flavor packs a great, refreshing punch. I like my veggies to outnumber my lentils because I don't like it too starchy.

Boil lentils in pot until nearly tender, add carrots. Cook until carrots are crisp tender. Drain lentils and carrots to cool. Empty them into a bowl and combine with the remainder of the vegetables. Pour dressing and lemon juice over the salad. Combine thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Lunadea7- Yes, I think quinoa would work well. Thats the great thing about this kind of thing. You can mix and match to your taste and whats in your pantry. The salad dressing would go great wiht just about anything.

About Me

There is a new chapter in my life. It's all about how our life (my husband and I) has turned around to a plant based, vegan life! How step by step we are teaching ourselves a whole new way. How we discover new foods. How delicious can happen without meat. Yes, even without bacon.
